apartment
The sound of wind chimes rang out, a reminder that a guest had arrived at the inn.
He Lizhou looked up, but the first person he saw was not Sheng Ju or Peng Ningyu, but a man he didn't recognize.
The man was wearing a windbreaker, with a handsome face and sharp features, but it was hard to tell whether he was a player or a dungeon character.
He Lizhou stood up with a smile, "Hello, I'm the hotel owner. Our hotel is not open yet, you're a little early."
Long Yao withdrew his secret gaze and looked at He Lizhou.
He Lizhou is not famous, but there is a hotel in the dungeon that is famous for being absolutely safe.
Long Yao remembered that when he was still "He Yuanguang" in the morning, he was completely attracted by this hotel and guessed that maybe he had encountered the legendary hotel.
Rumor has it that this inn is very mysterious. It appears at irregular frequencies and has irregular copies. Every time you go in, it is run by a man alone. If you are lucky and the boss is in a good mood, he will even give you some clues to the copy's missions, making you feel like a hermit.
However, recently, the inn has not appeared for some time. Occasionally, there are rumors that the boss has mixed into the player team and went to do dungeons with the players, and will take the players to the inn for refuge when in danger.
It was Long Yao's first time entering this hotel. He was not sure whether the boss in front of him was the legendary boss, but he still responded politely, "Hello."
Long Yao didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky. Since he was taking refuge in an inn, he must have paid something. Maybe it was voluntary, or maybe it was collected by the innkeeper without the player's knowledge.
Therefore, Long Yao did not plan to stay here for long. He only regarded this place as a retreat route that he would not enter unless it was absolutely necessary. This time he came in just to scout the area in advance.
Long Yao doesn't care about ordinary NPCs, but if it is an NPC who can save his life at a critical moment, he needs to show some respect to him.
Before he left, he nodded to He Lizhou. He Lizhou watched him leave and head towards the apartment. He was still unsure whether this man was a player.
Soon Sheng Ju arrived, "Boss Zhou Zhou, I'm glad to see you!"
Sheng Ju always "hears the voice before seeing the person", which is his unique way. According to him, this is to let He Lizhou know that he has arrived earlier, and also to express his inner excitement.
However, Shu Jia in the hotel said that he was "stupid because of doing the test."
He Lizhou put down the book in his hand and smiled as Sheng Ju rushed to him. "Zhou Zhou, you don't know! I have been badly hurt by the copy these past two days!"
Sheng Ju complained to He Lizhou, saying that Lili coveted his beauty and insisted on taking him to indecent places.
He Lizhou couldn't help laughing, "Maybe it's the system setting, I've encountered it too."
Sheng Ju became alert, as alert as a little wolf, "You didn't promise her."
He Lizhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How is that possible? What are you thinking? The place Lili mentioned probably isn't anything improper. I guess it's a place like a fighting arena."
I guessed it based on the landlord's reaction. If it was the former, then pretending to be soft would have been the best approach, but the landlord was skeptical at the time.
But when he used a blade to hammer cracks in the wall, the landlord's attitude changed and he said to keep an eye on himself.
He Lizhou told Sheng Ju about this conjecture, and Sheng Ju nodded thoughtfully, "That's what I said, why can't I ask him to give me more time no matter what I say."
He Lizhou couldn't help but be curious. He knew that Sheng Ju was always the most clever person. But after all, it was his own people who accompanied Sheng Ju to play tricks, and the landlord would not show mercy. It would not be easy to fool the landlord.
He Lizhou thought about it and asked. Sheng Ju waved his hands and frowned. "I couldn't fool the landlord. It was really hard to talk to him. In the end, I went to the supermarket owner downstairs and stole the money."
He Lizhou knew that Shengju was a serious matter. Since he dared to steal, it meant that he was sure that no death points would be triggered by taking the money from the owner of the supermarket downstairs, so he just reminded him to "be careful".
Since we are talking about the supermarket owner, He Lizhou can't help but mention his bugs. "There are probably some things hidden in that apartment, including the paper figures. I don't know whose work it is. Be careful of them."
Just as he finished speaking, Peng Ningyu arrived late. She was cautious and waited until after get off work. And since some time ago, they were the only ones left in the hotel.
He Lizhou told Peng Ningyu the previous information. He guessed that the paper man was released by his neighbor, and probably also the owner of the apartment and the creator of road evil, Liu Fengmao.
However, it is just speculation at the moment and there is no evidence. He Lizhou is worried that his speculation may influence the two of them, so he has not said it out loud yet.
Peng Ningyu is a newbie, so He Lizhou intends to take care of her more and listens to Peng Ningyu's speech quietly.
Peng Ningyu initially thought that they wanted to share intelligence quickly like in spy dramas, but she didn't expect that He Lizhou was chatting with her and extracting key information from her words.
As she talked, her body relaxed, but she even got herself angry and slammed the table and cursed the company boss for being heartless.
He Lizhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to comfort him, "Okay, okay, it's all a procedure. We'll be out of this sea of suffering once we get out of the dungeon."
Peng Ningyu sat back in her chair and asked, "When will it end?"
The cycle continues, and we don’t know how many players are left in the dungeon, and how many times it will have to cycle again.
When you don't know anything and the days are repeated with no end in sight, it is inevitable that you will become lazy, lose your vigilance, and eventually die at any time.
He Lizhou hesitated for a moment, "It shouldn't happen again."
The copy has been cycled three times, and another cycle can only mean that one more person will die.
According to his feeling, apart from the three of them, if there is anyone else left in the copy, that person should also be quite powerful and will not be easily fooled.
Peng Ningyu felt relieved after hearing what He Lizhou said, "I think so too, but no one else agrees with me, so I'm always unsure."
He Lizhou comforted and encouraged him at the right time: "Your thinking is very accurate, just trust your own judgment."
Peng Ningyu nodded heavily.
Several people planned to separate. It was getting late, and staying until late at night before going back would be foolish.
He Lizhou finally summarized all the information he had obtained today, including his neighbor Liu Fengmao, whom he had just learned from the workers, and emphasized it.
Sheng Ju and Peng Ningyu were obviously surprised. After all, Liu Fengmao really looked too much like an ordinary person who did nothing, and it was difficult to connect him with the mastermind behind the scenes.
None of the three were the type to cling to comfort or escape from dungeons. Even though they were reluctant to leave the brief tranquility of the inn, they knew where real safety was, so they stepped out of the inn.
The moment I stepped out of the hotel, the person next to me was gone, and only I was left.
Peng Ningyu stood there in a daze for a while, and only left after noticing the strange looks from the workers inside.
It was already late, and Peng Ningyu didn't dare to stay any longer on the road and quickly returned to the apartment.
The elevator door opened, and neighbor Liu Fengmao poked his head out again. He looked Peng Ningyu up and down, "You're back. Why are you so late today?"
Ever since Peng Ningyu learned from He Lizhou that her neighbor Liu Fengmao might be the mastermind behind the incident, her perspective on Liu Fengmao has changed. She felt creepy after hearing this.
Why did Liu Fengmao know her daily schedule? Was he always monitoring her?
Peng Ningyu pretended not to hear and hurried into the house, locked the door, then breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but look around the room.
The hut still looked the same as when she was first dropped into the dungeon, and she had not made any major changes.
A bedroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a small balcony.
There were many sundries placed in the small room, including men's and women's supplies. It was crowded and full of life.
etc……
Peng Ningyu suddenly felt horrified. Why would there be two people's things in one room?
If "He Yuanguang" is a male, then why are there women's items in his room? Is it from his girlfriend who has not yet appeared or someone else?
Peng Ningyu subconsciously felt that this was a place that no one had noticed, and it was also a very critical place. However, she had just separated from He Lizhou and the others, and she did not have Shengju's skills, so she could not contact them in a short time.
Peng Ningyu turned and went into the bedroom. She didn't know if it was because she had stayed in the hotel for a while, but she was less affected by the apartment. Now when she looked at this bedroom, she just felt that the window was abrupt.
Peng Ningyu thought about how He Lizhou had always encouraged her to trust her intuition, so she pulled a piece of cloth over and hung it on the hooks on the window to surround it.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but after covering the windows, I felt a lot more relaxed.
Maybe it's because of the abnormal path of the thin pen.
Peng Ningyu comforted herself and checked again before going to bed to see if there were any paper figures left in the house. Only after confirming that there were any did she go to bed.
Sheng Ju and He Lizhou arrived home almost at the same time. They got out of the elevator one after the other and met Liu Fengmao at the same time.
Sheng Ju smiled wryly, "You know my whereabouts very well."
Liu Fengmao touched his head and said, "It just happened."
This was actually the first time he saw Liu Fengmao's hand.
Sheng Ju looked at Liu Fengmao without any obstruction. "I haven't seen you come out before. Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Fengmao said something vaguely and closed the door again.
Sheng Ju seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that he had to go to Liu Fengmao's house to investigate sometime.
There is indeed something wrong with this person.
Long Yao's first reaction when he entered the house was to cover the window. He thought about how he was too lazy to find something to cover it before, but now it didn't seem to be a problem at all. It was probably because his thinking was affected by the copy apartment.
Looking back at this apartment now, there are signs that someone has lived there for a long time, but it seems like it has been a while. Where did the "He Yuanguang" in the copy go?
Long Yao's eyes grew darker. This copy was indeed quite difficult. He thought he would be able to pass it, but it ended up involving another clue.
I don’t know if I can get through the week safely without resolving that line.
Long Yao sighed. He was unwilling to do anything unnecessary. It would be best to spend the seven days peacefully without any more trouble.
…
All four of them chose to cover the windows.
Liu Fengmao was at home, and he suddenly raised his eyes, as if he had noticed something wrong.
